FZ 1201 Pizzato Position switch with plunger
Pizzato FZ 1201 industrial position switch with a short piston plunger actuator, 2NO snap-action contacts, metal housing, PG 13.5 cable entries and IP67 protection for machinery and automation applications.
Why Choose the Pizzato FZ 1201 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FZ 1201 is a robust industrial position switch with a short piston plunger actuator designed for reliable mechanical position detection in machinery and industrial automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal housing with a direct-acting plunger head for dependable operation in demanding industrial applications.
This position switch features a 2NO snap-action B12 contact block, providing two normally open contacts with rapid electrical switching for machine control and position signalling. The short piston plunger actuator is designed for applications where a moving machine component approaches the switch directly, providing precise and repeatable mechanical actuation.
The FZ 1201 features a rugged metal housing, two PG 13.5 threaded conduit entries and an IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529. Its compact plunger design makes it suitable for industrial machinery, conveyors, production equipment and automation systems requiring dependable mechanical switching.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Industrial position switches such as the Pizzato FZ 1201 detect the physical position or movement of machine components through direct mechanical actuation. When a moving component presses the short piston plunger, the switch changes the state of its electrical contacts, allowing the machine control system to detect position, travel or completion of a mechanical movement.
The snap-action mechanism provides rapid electrical contact transition once the switching point is reached, helping deliver consistent switching performance. Combined with its compact plunger actuator, metal enclosure and IP67 protection, the FZ 1201 provides a dependable position detection solution for machine builders and industrial automation engineers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Machine travel and end-position detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated production equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Mechanical movement monitoring.
- Factory automation and OEM machine building.
